DTD Mini Festival: Final Day - Interactive

[danafish]

Mr Greekfish, who has been grinding like he never ground before, is up to around 50k after sort of snapping and shoving two hands in a row.

First he moved in from the cutoff. Big blind Brucie considered it. "Do you want a call?" "Yeah, I think I do." Eventually Brucie folded pocket sevens. "You folded that? Are you mad? I'm not going to show now, I'm too embarrassed."

The next hand, Randera raises to 7.5k and Greekfish, in a pretending-he-hasn't-seen-the-raise sort of way, pushes all his chips across the line. It folds back around to Randera, who folds pocket sevens up again! Much hilarity. Everyone is half expecting Greekfish to show sixes, but he shows a very respectable would-have-been-coinflipping A-K. "I'm out to win it now," says Greekfish.

[danafish]

And we have an exit!

Randera makes it 10k and small blind Berridge flat calls. Richard "The Knife" Stanley, however, cuts them up - he shoves for around 30k. Randera folds, but Berridge calls.

Stanley:
Berridge:

Board:

Apparently Randera folded A-K. So there you go.

Thus Richard Stanley is OUT in 8th place winning £1,777.

As I rejoined the action, the board read with Jon Omara facing a bet of 5,000. In the meantime, HWCBN seemed to be doing his best of talking him out of a call. In the end, Omara did fold what was probably a very weak hand, leading to HWCBN showing for the rivered set. "Nice, this guy," commented Andrew Andreou.

On one unusual hand, HWCBN limped for 3,000 on the button, Shahnawaz Randera made up the small blind and Andrew Andreou pushed all in for what he claimed was circa 55,000 in chip. Both opponents folded, but it emerged that the players had the following hands:

Randera =
HWCBN =
Andreou =

Anyone else wanna join the club?

[snoopy1239]

After a flurry of blind stealing hands, we finally reach a showdown with Richard Berridge raising it up preflop with , Andrew Andreou pushing all in with and Richard making what was an understandably quick call.

The board caused no changes, meaning Andrew doubled up to something rather more threatening and is now a real contender on this final table.

Chip count to come...

[snoopy1239]

Approx chip counts:

Seat 1: Andrew Andreou -- 133,000
Seat 2: Marc Goodwin -- 104,000
Seat 3: Jon Omara -- 68,000
Seat 4: Chris Bruce -- 157,000
Seat 5: Richard Berridge -- 74,000
Seat 7: HWCBN -- 95,000
Seat 8: Shahnawaz Randera -- 126,000

Marc Goodwin made it 9k from the button, and big blind Berridge made it All In for around 75k. Call. All very quickly, justlikethat.

Goodwin:
Berridge:

Board: a very exciting

Meaning that Berridge doubles up to approximately the chip lead (around 160k) while Goodwin is down to a mere 10-big-blinds-y 30k. "I was just playing back at you," offers Berridge by way of apology or some such...

A surreal hand just took place between Richard Berridge and Andrew Andreou. Richard raised it up preflop from middle(ish) position and Andrew made the call from the blind.

Both players then proceeded to check down a board, Andrew taking it down with nines in the hole for the rivered full house. Richard had pocket aces.

[snoopy1239]

A spot of misfortune now for HWCBN ("I feel like that guy out of Harry Potter, you know, the one where they're not allowed to say his name") as Marc Goodwin doubles up with . HWCBN looked in good shape with , but a third five on the turn of a board dashed any hopes of an exit, and we remain on seven. In his defence, Mr HWCBN took his beat rather well. "Nice hand, Marc."

Goodwin now on circa 50,000 in chips.

[danafish]

Good lord, will no-one ever be eliminated?

HWCBN limps in utg, and calls a raise from Marc Goodwin. They see a flop.

Flop: - check, check.

They see a turn.

Turn: - now HWCBN bets 18k. Goodwin goes all in. Call.

HWCBN: for a flopped set.
Goodwin: for a turned set. Yikes.

River: not a six, but a .

Golden Goodwin up to around 110k, HWCBN down to just 45k.

Players are now on a short break, if only to recover from the drama of the last few hands.

Short break = good time to fulfill the wishes of the NAS

I agree mate ... poor effort.

Me & Boshi are only a phone call away for the next one

You and Boshi?! One can't tell the difference between the men and women and the other's never spoken to one!
